Oracle Cloud and iptables
Oracle-provided images have some unusual iptables rules by default, and need to be removed for nodes to work as expected.
They are in the iptables chain InstanceServices.
To remove them:
iptables --list INPUT --line-numbers
# ...
# 11 REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
iptables --list OUTPUT --line-numbers
# ...
# 6 InstanceServices all -- anywhere link-local/16
iptables --delete INPUT 11
iptables --delete OUTPUT 6
iptables --flush InstanceServices
iptables --delete-chain InstanceServices
